Hi!
I applied to med school this year.
In mid-February I got a rejection letter. It said I didn't meet a couple of the criteria outlined in the application booklet so I'm not going to get an interview. I looked over the application forms again and am very sure I meet the criteria they wrote I didn't meet.
I wrote an e-mail to the person who signed the rejection letter the evening I got it. A week later I hadn't heard anything so I called the school. Now this school doesn't have people answering the phone so I left a message on the answering machine stating the same things as I wrote in the e-mail. A week later I still hadn't heard anything and left another message --again kindly asking them to look at my application because I think they made a mistake.
This week it will be a month since I got that letter. The school hasn't in any way acknowledged I tried to contact them.
I really would like to get into that school but don't want to seem rude or desperate leaving half dozen messages.
Does someone have some advice for me?
Am I bugging them enough?
Would it make sense to take it up a level-- write the dean?
Thanks!
